Interesting, yes! Heck! All of us know about carbs and their sources! We're not going to serve a "white or yellow plate" (the mark of a carb filled meal)! A lot of us will have green beans, carrots, (well, ok, they are a little high in sugar), brussel sprouts (try cooking in chicken broth to tame them), broccoli, and other green things!
Pumpkin, after all, IS a squash! (yes, we DO add a little sugar,...well, just a little...)!
We all try to serve a healthy meal and I'm taking a day off from calories! I may even eat half a roll!
Bring on the white zin!
Do you think about holiday calories? Can you just enjoy the day?

I just try to enjoy the day and my family and not think about those pesky calories either.
However, the next day I DO think about it and try to get back on the "wagon" so to speak and get in a good workout.

Do you have a link to the article? I was wondering how many calories were actually in an average T-giving meal. Thank you.

Becky, OMG, that's awful. Well, you can save 20% by cutting out the pecan pie.

I am forgoing the Grands biscuit for extra dressing. Trading one bread for another.

The sad part is does not factor in 2nd helpings. I just let it all go and enjoy, GOBBLE GOBBLE. Embrace it all with no guilt we all deserve it.

Two pieces of pie? Maybe later in the day, but not after all that food. So lighten up, whoever compiled this list.
